It supports more hardware! It's better!"
How could the GNU project ever endorse this and not be hypocritical?

@SuperDicq @Suiseiseki @menherahair @Cyrillic @mischievoustomato @yomiel @lxo Hey you should not install this more free software replacement, instead you should just use the fully proprietary one.
See how stupid this take is? And of course you again, perhaps intentionally, miss the point about CPU microcode. You are _already_ running one. And it _is_ broken, but in the name of conforming to FSF's policy of "no ability in updating embedded firmware means free, updating said broken embedded firmware means not free", you instead choose to run _broken_ software with zero advantages over not updating it, other than FSF stamp of approval.† top dog :pedomustdie: likes this.
